Hey guys a common feature on most new digital amps is an auxiliary in which I use to have on my line 6 but on my Marshall I really miss this feature. Besides multi fx pedals is their anything more stomp box style that I could use through the fx loop? Thanks

i am a bit confused here... you miss your 'aux in' and you want to know what you can use through your effects loop?

i am sorry you miss you aux in, you can plug just about any guitar pedal through your effects loop. i feel that doesn't really answer your question though.

Let me clarify, I'm saying is their any stomp box style pedal that I can plug into my amps fx loop that allows me to connect my iPod (ie auxiliary in). The reason I said fx loop is just cause I wanted to assure everyone my amp had one others wise the amps preamp would affect the aux signal.

Yes, there are pedals that will enable you to do that. The only one I have personal knowledge of is the Boss RC-3 Looper. It has an Aux input that I use to feed in MP3's and such from both my MP3 player and my computer. I would assume there are other pedals as well, I just don't know which....

OK thats a start thanks anyone else have any knowledge of other pedals like this but perhaps with a different feature

oh. sure. you could use an a/b/y box for that if nothing else (one of those a/b/y boxes that can be used to split input or output).

you probably need a 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TS converter to plug the mp3 player into the a/b/y pedal.

i am sure you already know how bad hifi sounds with guitar speakers/amps, so i don't feel i need to tell you it won't sound very good (but i did anyway)

Be careful you don't destroy the crystal lettuce and damage the fragile harmonics.
Guitar speaker's aren't full range, so the amount of bass present in a full band mix could destroy them. They could cause the crystal lettuce in the speakers to rip apart, and shatter the fragile harmonics that give guitar speakers their mojo.
You could also wear out the mids coil, where all of the haunting mids comes from, which will leave you with a scooped tone with no way to fix it short of buying new speakers.

You could do it with a little line mixer, a baby 4 channel would do but anything with at least 3 really. Channel 1 of the mixer you feed in the FX send from the amp; two other channels get your mp3 player's L&R both panned to the centre (panned to whichever output you are using actually. If it's a mono mixer no panning needed). Output of the mixer goes into the amp's FX return. Adjust levels for unity on channel 1 and then any cut you need to make on the music stream and you're off and racing.
Bada bing bada boom - job done.
